Koroth, Nadeshiko, and Ming Yi who was still wearing his mask stepped onto the stage.
"Now then, I shall announce the rewards for the three podium finishers," Elder Ning said, turning to Hina-nee, Furuwa, and I. "Sakura Hina and Chiaki Furuwa, tied for third place, will each receive a Spirit Pill plus 50,000 gold, and as for our grand champion, Igarashi Kaze… you shall receive a Spirit Pill, 100,000 gold, and any one wish that your heart desires. So? What will it be?"
The audience roared in jealousy after hearing this, but I kept a neutral expression.
"My wish… is it possible to hold off on it?" I asked mysteriously as Koroth turned to me in shock.
After all, I had promised him I would use my wish for him. Don't worry, Koroth… you'll get what you want. This is all within my calculations.
"Naturally," Elder Ning replied. "That is, only if you choose to enter our sect."
I laughed. "I have a choice?"
